In the city of Haifa, they have been waiting for this for a long time – 20 years to be exact – and now it is happening. Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Haifa meet at this time (live on5SPORT) In the Hall of Fame for the first derby of the season in the basketball industry, and how unfortunate that it is impossible to fill the stands with fans for this special event.
The Greens come to the most prestigious game for them with a dismal balance of 7: 1 since the start of the season and a defeat to another bottom team, Bnei Herzliya. Daniel Savannah’s team looks at this point as one of the weakest in the league and dropped to last place in the table. Maccabi Haifa has received some good news in recent days, when after great efforts, it managed to obtain the visa to enter Israel for Taylor Baron. The former Hapoel Beer Sheva player is registered for the game, but it is worth noting that he barely had time to train with his new friends. In light of the fact that the staff is so short – Devon Jefferson has not been registered again and Avi Ben Shimol is still carrying an injury (but will play) – it is possible that Baron will make his debut in the derby.
Hapoel Haifa were upset by the game against Hapoel Holon, but put it behind them, as they are facing the “most important battle of the season”, according to club members. The Reds from Carmel have been waiting for many years for the derby and come to it in a much better condition than their opponent: its balance is much better (3: 4) and the staff it built at the beginning of the season looks better and more connected. Quite a few eyes will be turned in the direction of Taylor Rochesti, who was naturally lukewarm in the debut game against Holon, but he is already coming to the derby after a number of training sessions with his new friends.
